I’m not a fan of Ubuntu either, but at least it doesn’t break or get hacked every week.
AUR is supposed the last resort, after distro repos, building from source, Flatpak, and Appimage. Ubuntu’s equivalent to the AUR would be PPAs.
That’s the problem. AUR is not the last resort. There’s nobody who would build an app from source before installing it through AUR. Most people wouldn’t even use appimages over AUR.
Even on the official Arch Linux website, ‘AUR’ is literally right next to ‘Packages’, making it seem like a good and secure way of installing applications. Which it isn’t.
